Gorse of Course?

Extremely dry, windy conditions in the UK at present. One consequence, has been an enormous gorse fire in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/24/huge-gorse-blaze-continues-to-burn-in-mourne-mountains). The fire is endangering fire fighters in the area around Slieve Donard. I haven't seen any suggestion, as yet, that the fire might have been started deliberately. Here, in Wales, however, people often burn gorse to 'clear the scrub'. This frequently gets out of hand, with devastating consequences to the environment.
